two sisters, Carolyn Lovell and Lorene David. He is survived by one 
sister, Normajean Cook of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Hadley enlisted in the 
Army in June 1942 and was stationed in Dover England during the D-Day

as far as the eye could see moving past the English coast toward France on 
that day. Hadley returned to the states in 1946 and on November 27, 1946 
he married Jean Lasater. Hadley later graduated from the University of 
Oklahoma School of Pharmacy in 1949 on the GI Bill. Hadley and Jean owned

member of the Bethany Community where Bowman Drug was located for its last

Columbus. Hadley is survived by his wife, Jean, of the home, and his four 
children and their spouses, Hadley Jr. and Candi Bowman of Oklahoma City,

Arkansas, and Mike and Amy Bowman of Chandler, Arizona. He is also 
survived by six grandchildren, David, Elliott, Amanda, Garrett, Griffon
